Notes
/1/ first few seconds are missing
/2/ there appears to be a cut at 1:20
/3/ there is a small dropout at 8:17
/4/ cuts near end, unknown how much is missing
@ cuts near end, unknown how much is missing
# missing
there are small cuts between most tracks. It seems like the taper must have been hitting the pause button on a regular basis.
the volume on both sets fluctuated between channels and I have tried to adjust this as much as is possible
there were a few dropouts that I have been able to patch in from the other channel
set 2 has quite a high level of hiss
comments:
not a great recording but it'll do until something better shows up

Subject: The Draft Board and the Dead
I remember that night really well. I think it was around "Tell it to Me," that everyone in the audience rose to their feet in unison as though lifted by
...
some magical force but most likely driven by some fine purple Owlsley, which tendered to flood the City in the weeks preceding a Dead concert. By the time the concert was over, it was daytime and I went straight from there to my Draft Board physical, feeling pretty confident that I would fail. But, alas, not even the Dead nor Owlsley could deter the Draft Board. It was one of the best concerts I ever attended.
OK, the quality could be better but considering the technology available at the time, I'll take it.

If this performance could be properly heard, I think it would easily rival the likes of 4/12 and 5/2/70. The Tight Up jam is upbeat and well done. Following
...
an absolutely gorgeous, dreamy interlude, they bring the jam down to that sputnik-like passage that's also found in the Binghamton version; it's briefer here, but perhaps played even more intensely.

Subject: Sweetness remembered
I was at this show and I've been looking for a recording of it ever since. I lived in New Jersey at the time and I saw the Dead close to 200 times from
...
1969 to 1974 but this was by far the best show. They were billing it as "Dead at Midnight" The show started at midnight with the acoustic set, continued with New Riders featuring Garcia on steel and Hart on drums and the ELECTRIC Dead took the stage at around 3:15 am. I had seats in the second row center. The band was absolutely as dosed as we were particularly Bobby. Between the New Riders and the electric Dead the showed the Nixon "checkers speech on the big screen over the stage and then an old black and white cartoon called the "Sunshine Makers" who were little elves that bottled sunshine and when anyone sipped the sunshine, they immediately became overcome with utter joy and happiness. If you never have seen it, the implications were obvious. Anyway it was one of those magical nights that elevated until the very last note at which point 2,400 stoned to the bone hippies wandered out onto second avenue in NYC and discovered it was daylight. Yeah the quality could be better but listening to this concert brought me right back to that night. Now the really weird part about it is that I found this set after someone sent me a link to another Dead set and after looking around the archives, I found this one. I was working at the time in my office by myself so I just shut the phone off, cranked up the speakers and listened the entire show. About halfway through, I looked down and realized it was 44 years ago TO THE DAY that I attended this Fillmore show. Lightning bolt to the brain. True story.

Subject: Speed issues...
Does anyone else thinks this show runs slow? Really slow? I think it's a nice show and I don't mind the tape sound, but if someone with the expertise to
...
do it could speed it up a bit (if it's at all possible to establish how slow it really is), I think it would become one of the shows of the year.
Just compare this show's Me And My Uncle with the previous night's.*
* I know some people say the 12th is really the 11th, etc.

Sound quality makes parts if it hard to hear and others hard to listen to, but a great show and worth skipping through for highlights. The acoustic set
...
in particular is sweet.

I was going through old tapes and found that my copy of this show has Dancing in the Streets and Lovelight both complete with UJB encore. I was at one

Hot summer.
Cool down at the FE with the Good Ol Grateful Dead.
Bought my first bootleg of the Dead outside the FE while Bill Graham was barking out orders ... for us to stay in line! Wish I was there right now.
The music lives on via the tapers. Thank you to all.

I RECOMMEND ADDING THIS SHOW TO YOUR 1970 AUDIENCE COLLECTION.
.

The performance is beyond spectacular, you will want this show in your archive ... if you are a DEAD HEAD.
Yes it has hand clapping sometimes and yes it's an Audience Recording and sounds like you are out in the lobby (actually out in the audience) but that's not all it is...
It's the GRATEFUL DEAD at the FILLMORE EAST in New York City, July 12, 1970. What do you think it's going to sound like man? PAY ATTENTION!
Forget the lousy quality recording, which isn't that freak'n bad, just listen to the show, man. THE SHOW IS AMAZING!
THE SHOW IS AMAZING. Did I tell you the SHOW IS AMAZING??
I recommend listening to "audience recorded" shows through your favorite headphones. It brings the music closer to your ears and is easier to hear. Using EQ isn't a bad idea either if you have it.
SirMick has done it again......I am in awe.
If there is a soundboard of this show, we're gonna have to fork over serious bucks for it...but until then, get it while you can, get it while it's free, get it now or you'll be sorry...
"Attics of My Life" is truly a beautiful song and is performed here with incredible vocals.
Lot's of Pigpen performances for us Pigpen fans. The acoustic Pigpen is a real treat.
"IT'S A MAN'S WORLD" is always a delight and NO ONE could sing "IT'S A MAN'S WORLD" better than Pigpen, not even James brown. Pigpen stole this song from James Brown and made it his own. A fast 6/8 tempo is something only Pigpen could do, and it's unbelievable!
Thanks SirMick for sharing this show with us die-hard Pigpen fans, it's all we got of ol' Pigpen, and it helps us remember him.
Pigpen was one of the greatest front-men ever and he added a whole other dimension to the GRATEFUL DEAD.
Dancin' In the Street sounds slow...tape speed, or what?
31 songs performed by the GRATEFUL DEAD live at the Fillmore East in the summer of 1970 gets 5 stars in my book anyday, and with all them Pigpen songs, It should get 100 stars. Turn On Your Lovelight was Pigpen's signature song, for a reason...he was all about LOVE, Janis knew it.
This is one audience recording you are going to want because it's as close to being at a GRATEFUL DEAD Show in the summer of 1970 at the Fillmore East as you're gonna get. If you love the GRATEFUL DEAD, you will LOVE THIS SHOW.
PS: Turn On Your Lovelight cuts off at the end as it should in any bootleg live recording. The GRATEFUL DEAD always played longer than any tape ever made back then...that's the way it was.
I turned 15 in 1970, and would see my first rock concert in September at Madison Square Garden in NYC, it was a Led Zeppelin matinee show for $6.50 and it wasn't sold out.
Eat, Drink, be Merry, and Listen to the GRATEFUL DEAD.
Thanks for the love.
